Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast

Love the cushion in the heal !! Mens shoes fits better than the womens

Fit true to size, comfy and even helped my mile time go down by 20 secs because of the comfort!

Just started a walk/run program after a long break from running...these shoes have been a blessing in terms of saving my knees and providing a comfortable/cushioned ride all while being really light weight....going to buy another pair just for walking around...highly recommend...

Super great running show (so far) I only put in about 15 miles on them but they're extremely comfortable on foot. I usually wear a 10 1/2 but was recommended by ASICS to size half down. So I went with a 10 and I'm glad I did. I have only 2 complaints. 1) the heel could be locked in a little better. I lace them pretty tight and I have no issue but you might find they slip off the back a little too much even with sizing a half down. 2) the tongue is not gusseted so you'll have to make sure it's not bunched up every time you lace up. Not a deal breaker, but having it gusseted would just be better all around. I was kind of hesitant because I heard very mixed reviews on these but they're a fun and different running shoe for ASICS. Also some more stability in the shoe would be nice but I think it's just the way I run that I prefer extra stability. I rotate between these and the Brooks Glycerin 12 (which are like tanks on the feet) so this light shoe breaks up the monotony. Definitely no regrets in the purchase though!

excellent product Very comfortable. very good shape. Very fast delivery. I highly recommend it.

Incredibly comfortable and promotes running balance.

These shoes are awesome! I got wide feet and breaking in new shoes usually do a number on my feet the first four or five times walking in them. Was worried at first glance shoes looked narrow but to my surprise they fit perfectly and first jog in them was pain free! Love these shoes and just bought another pair. Really rare I find shoes that work for me the first time I put them on.

Great shoe and great support for those long runs ! Very comfortable and comparable to high end racing shoes.

I have number of daily trainers (New Balance, Nike, Hoka) but the Novablast has moved to the top of the list. I'm an older runner, so I want sufficient cushion to make my long runs easier. This fits the bills and is relatively light. The outsole appears to be long-lasting, and the upper shows little to no wear. What a great shoe!

Great shoe, tongue is a bit thin but the shoe is great.

I got the novablast NP very light feeling very good and with a thick sock at number 45 Europe

Very comfortable ride. Good rebound. Would recommend

Excellent running shoe, very comfortable and ready out of the box.

Great comfort and support. Cushions great for my job at the hospital.

I'm an old guy (65) with football and baseball knees and have been wearing Tigers since the 60s. The NOVABLAST is just an incredible shoe for active adults who still power walk and exercise daily. I keep three pair around at all times (home, office, car) and just love them!

Excellent cushioning. Use on my long run and legs are in good shape afterwards

My go to running shoes are Nimbus and Cumulus and I decided to get these to get a lighter shoe. First I could tell these are set for underpronators. I wear heavily on the outside of the heel, and I could tell during my run that I was rolling from to back of the shoe closer to the inside of the foot. If you are an overpronator, it is not for you. There is some heel slip, and I will have to correct it with changing my laces to heel lock set up. I did feel that bounce during the run and they felt light. The rubber sole is thin, so I am going to use these for long runs and not as my regular running shoes. It was interesting on my walk home after my run, I felt like the shoes were doing all of the walking. The rocking shape felt like my feet wanted to go forward and with less effort.

I like it! Please continue to come out with more colors! I'm stil looking for one which is grey with white stripes!

These are the best shoes ever. I love them for work and working out. I'm a nurse and I bought a pair for work and they are the comfiest pair I've own to be on my feet for 13 hours. I also purchased another pair for my gym and when I'm with my trainer it's as if I'm walking on clouds! So light and comfy.

The cushion in the heel and lightweight material, makes this one of my favorite ASICS

Has the "bounce" and padding I was seeking. Love them.

The Novablast is a fantastic shoe that is very versatile. As an older runner with bad joints and some injury history, I place a premium on cushioning, but I also want the attributes I wanted when I was younger - light weight, responsiveness, good snug fit, etc. This shoe does it all for me. I ran in Kayanos for years, and loved them, but they're a little heavy and bulky for racing, plus as I've aged I find I want more cushioning. The Novablasts fit the bill! The cushioning and comfort is 5/5. Weight is better than the Kayanos, and they feel like light, responsive, springy racing shoes in comparison. For me, they are true all-rounders, excelling at tempo runs, longer runs, easy runs, even speedwork and racing. If anyone is familiar with the Hoka Rincon, these shoes are very similar, with a slightly better fit for me. The one small thing I would change is in the fit - I could use a slightly wider toebox. But honestly, that's really nitpicking, and I like a wider toebox than most people. Overall, a 4.5 for me, leaving a little room to improve the score if the toebox fit me better. Now expand the Novablast line; lose a little weight and add a carbon plate and you've got the perfect racer!

Nice & comfortable: After decades of nothing but Kayanos, it felt right to reduce weight and go to more cushioning. I've not been disappointed. I've always been a forefoot striker and these seem to work with that. I'll add some miles and maybe revisit this.

I do a lot of walking and these shoes are extremely comfortable. I'm 260 lb man. I'd recommend these.
